“Syrup for use on pancakes. You can store the syrup in the refrigerator if you intend to use it quickly. To preserve for a longer time, sterilize the jars, pour into the canning jars to within 1/4 inch of lid, adjust lids and process in boiling water canner for 10 minutes.”

It was easy to make, minus my boil over that made a sticky mess on my stove top. The taste wasn't exactly what I had expected, like I needed more sweetness or something. I might try to mix it with strawberries as another review had stated. I was able to make to pints so I added the pectin to one of them. As a syrup for me it was the better of the two. I did use the thinner syrup to make some blackberry balsamic vinaigrette. My husband or children did not like the syrups at all.

Just made this with some berries I had in the freezer that were too tart for a cobbler; skipped the pectin. I used it in a gin martini with a lemon twist. Awesome! I plan to use it as a substitute for Grenadine, too. It tastes better and I'll avoid the high fructose corn syrup.

Been using this recipe minus the pectin for years. If you mix 4 cups blackberry juice with 2 cups of sugar & boil 10 minutes,add 2 more cups of sugar,& boil 10 more minutes, you will have jelly. Never fails.

I used this recipe for a guide, but didn't want to make that much, so I changed it. First, I used my Jack LaLainne juicer using about 25 blackberries, then 2 red plums to help the juice of the berries come out. I scraped the well and added a little pulp, making about 1 cup of juice. I cooked it in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of sugar, juice from 1/4 medium lemon, and 1/2 tsp. butter. I cooked it on pretty high flame, stirring frequently, for about 5 mins. It came out perfect, just the right thickness to use on my homemade waffles. And there's left over to use again tomorrow, or even on vanilla ice cream tonight! Yummy!

delicious...but why wouldn't it be its juice and sugar. pretty good but i added twice as much pectin and about two tablespoons of corn syrup to thicken it because without it, it was the consistency of the juice itself.
